Description

插頭組件之接點模組Contact module for plug assembly

本發明係關於一種連接器組件。The present invention relates to a connector assembly.

一些電子系統利用連接器組件，諸如多個插頭組件與多個插座組件，來互連兩個電路板，諸如一母板與子卡。通常，在該母板與該子卡之間提供一中間平面組件。例如，該中間平面組件包括一中間平面電路板，該中間平面電路板具有多個插頭組件安裝至該中間平面電路板的相對側。該母板與該子卡各包括一插座組件，它們與該等對應的插頭組件配接。這樣的電子系統在透過該中間平面組件與多個插座連接器的多個介面上遭受訊號衰減。該等插座組件包括多個接點模組，該等接點模組具有多個接頭被端接至該電路板。該等插頭組件包括多個接頭被端接至該中板電路板。Some electronic systems utilize connector assemblies, such as plug assemblies and receptacle assemblies, to interconnect two circuit boards, such as a motherboard and daughter cards. Typically, a midplane assembly is provided between the motherboard and the daughter card. For example, the midplane assembly includes a midplane circuit board having a plurality of header assemblies mounted to opposing sides of the midplane circuit board. The motherboard and the daughter card each include a socket assembly, which is mated with the corresponding plug assemblies. Such electronic systems suffer from signal attenuation at the interfaces through the midplane component and the receptacle connectors. The socket assemblies include a plurality of contact modules having a plurality of contacts terminated to the circuit board. The header assemblies including a plurality of contacts are terminated to the midplane circuit board.

此外，多個高速連接器組件存在串擾問題，並且由於該等連接器組件的訊號接頭與屏蔽結構的幾何形狀，可能表現出高於期望的***損耗。例如，透過該連接器組件的屏蔽中的間隙或空間會導致連接器性能降低。此外，由於該等接頭具有不同的長度，該等接點模組存在電子偏斜問題。一些已知的連接器組件為每一接點模組提供導電固持器，其沿著訊號傳輸線的整個長度為每對訊號接頭提供360°屏蔽。例如，該接點模組包括持有每一引線框架的電鍍塑膠外殼。然而，該電鍍塑膠外殼的製造成本很高。In addition, many high-speed connector assemblies suffer from crosstalk issues and may exhibit higher than desired insertion loss due to the geometry of the signal splices and shielding structures of the connector assemblies. For example, gaps or spaces in the shielding through the connector assembly can result in reduced connector performance. In addition, the contact modules have electrical skew problems due to the different lengths of the contacts. Some known connector assemblies provide each contact module with a conductive retainer that provides 360° shielding for each pair of signal contacts along the entire length of the signal transmission line. For example, the contact module includes a plated plastic housing holding each lead frame. However, the manufacturing cost of the electroplated plastic housing is high.

因此，仍需要有改善電性能的具成本效益且可靠的連接器組件。Therefore, there remains a need for cost-effective and reliable connector assemblies with improved electrical performance.

根據本發明，提供了一插頭組件。該插頭組件包括一插頭殼體，其具有一插頭腔室構造成接納一插座組件。該插頭組件包括耦接至該插頭殼體的多個接點模組。每一接點模組包括一框架組件，該框架組件具有一訊號引線框架與固持該訊號引線框架的一介電框架。該介電框架包括位於該介電框架的前端的多個配接部延伸體。該訊號引線框架包括多個配接部，該等配接部從該等配接部延伸體向前延伸，用以配接該插座組件。每一接點模組包括耦接至該介電框架的一第一側的一接地屏蔽。該接地屏蔽包括位於該接地屏蔽的前端的多個接地護罩，該等接地護罩為該訊號引線框架的該等配接部提供電屏蔽。每一接地護罩包括多個護罩壁，該等護罩壁形成了接納該對應的配接部延伸體的一護罩腔體。每一接地護罩包括一護罩轉折部，以沿著該接地護罩的長度改變該護罩腔體的深度。According to the present invention, a plug assembly is provided. The plug assembly includes a plug housing having a plug cavity configured to receive a receptacle assembly. The header assembly includes a plurality of contact modules coupled to the header housing.

The signal lead frame includes a plurality of mating portions, the mating portions extend forward from the extension bodies of the mating portions for mating with the socket assembly. Each contact module includes a ground shield coupled to a first side of the dielectric frame. The ground shield includes a plurality of ground shields at the front end of the ground shield, the ground shields providing electrical shielding for the mating portions of the signal leadframe.
